Kirribilli House 20

Hi All,

Thank you to everyone for taking the time in getting acquainted with Shierly and the difficult situation she and her family are facing. They certainly need our assistance.

The lack of money and communication skills has made it hard for them when trying to deal with the health care system. My sister Josefina 'Inday' lives on the island and has been helping the family navigate through these obstacles, guiding them around and assisting them with enquiries. Her presence alone has already given them a massive lift in their spirits and confidence.

Having considered the available options, we have decided that the best course of action is for Shierly to have her operation through the public health system.

Although less expensive than the private sector, it will not be totally free, and we are endeavouring to raise money to help cover the costs of medical equipment and other items needed to ensure that the operation has the best chance of success.

We are already in conversation with a local Neurosurgeon. The operation will involve a team of at least five doctors and will take more than ten hours to perform. It is a very risky operation but there is no other option.

Our target figure is $6,000.00 AUD. This will go a long way towards providing the doctors with the resources they need.

Thank you for your consideration. As one can imagine your generosity will be truly appreciated and will mean the world and much more to this family.

Through their busy schedule, a window of opportunity has been presented to us that we could never let pass. An operation is scheduled for Shierly on Monday, 11 June 2018. Needless to say, time is of the essence in the circumstance we are now in.

It would be some achievement if we could pull this thing off.

Yours sincerely,

Ruben
